This article suggests that Turkey’s queer times are co-constitutive with Jasbir Puar’s queer times of homonationalism. If the queer times of homonationalism correspond to a folding of some queers into life and respectability at the cost of rising Islamophobia in the “West,” Turkey’s queer times witnessed the increasing marginalization and “queering” of variously respectable subjects in the name of Islam and strong LGBT organizing against such marginalization. It discusses the epistemic challenges of studying Turkey’s queer times that stem from a theoretical suspicion that “queer” operates as a tool of colonial modernity when it spreads to the “non-West,” a suspicion that is due both to a perception of Islam as a target and victim of Western neocolonialism and to an ahistorical and rigidly discursive understanding of language. In turn, scholarship on Turkey’s queer times has the potential to truly transnationalize queer studies, both getting us out of the binaries of global–local, colonial–authentic, and West–East and reminding scholars that hegemonies are scattered.

土耳其的酷儿时代：认知挑战

这篇文章表明，土耳其的酷儿时代与贾斯比尔·普阿尔的同性恋时代是共同构成的。如果说同性恋民族主义的酷儿时代对应于一些酷儿融入生活和体面，而代价是“西方”仇视伊斯兰情绪的上升，那么土耳其的酷儿时代见证了各种受人尊敬的主题以伊斯兰教和强大的 LGBT 组织反对这种边缘化。它讨论了研究土耳其酷儿时代的认知挑战，这些挑战源于一种理论怀疑，即当“酷儿”传播到“非西方”时，它是殖民现代性的工具，这种怀疑是由于将伊斯兰教视为西方新殖民主义的目标和受害者，以及对语言的非历史性和严格话语的理解。反过来，
